As we discussed in concept

Perfectly Elastic Collision -

Law of conservation of momentum and that of Kinetic Energy hold good.

- wherein

\frac{1}{2}m_{1}u_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}u_{2}^{2}= \frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

m_{1},m_{2}:masses

u_{1},v_{1}:initial \: and\: final \: velocity\: of \: the\: mass\ m_{1}

u_{2},v_{2}:initial \: and\: final \: velocity\: of \: the\: mass\ m_{2}

 

 \vec{F}=\frac{\vec{\Delta P}}{t}=\frac{m(25-(-30))}{12\times 10^{-3}}

\vec{F}=\frac{140\times10^{-3}\times 55}{12\times 10^{-3}}\:=\:\frac{140\times 55}{12}\:=\:641.6=642N
